BY  THE  PUBLISHER. 


The  following  Plates  were  drawn  and  engraved  by  the  late  W.  A.  Church, 
Esq.,  of  Siicatley.  The  drawings  were  made  by  him  during  the  summer 
of  1844,  whilst  engaged  in  visiting  various  Churches  in  the  diocese  of 
Oxford,  for  the  purpose  of  observing  what  antiquities  of  an  interesting 
character  might  exist  in  them. 

The  series  had  been  sea  y  completed  when  the  decease  of  Mr.  Church 
caused  its  subsequent  progress  to  devolve  upon  the  Publisher.  Considerable 
pains  have  been  bestowed  in  getting  up  the  work,  and  it  is  hoped,  that, 
as  examples  of  ancient  art,  these  fac-similes  will  be  appreciated  by  the 
Antiquary,  and  be  of  service  to  those  engaged  in  the  work  of  Church 
Decoration. 

The  Tiles  from  West  Hendred,  numbered  respectively  9,  10,  and  11,  ex- 
hibit the  third  part  of  a  most  elegant  design  composed  of  nine  tiles,  No.  10 
being  the  centre  one.
